13. It's useful to see what the "most in 30 years" means

From the CSIS report:

From 1994 through 2000, there was an average of 0.6 left-wing incidents annually; in the following decade, that figure doubled to 1.3 a year. Numbers began to grow substantially, however, in 2016, and from 2016 to 2024, they averaged 4.0 a year. Through July 4, 2025 (thus excluding the Kirk attack), there were five left-wing attacks or plots, which sets a trajectory for a record-breaking year in the last 30 years.

Another question - what does the killing of Charlie Kirk have to do with left wing violence? The Robinson kid certainly wasn't a lefty by any standards. Middle of the road at best. From what has come out so far, his act was personal, not political.
